ANTIQUE (19TH-MID-20TH CENTURY) LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S MEDICINE BOTTLE

Product Origin: Originally created by Lydia Estes Pinkham in Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1875 as a private vegetable concoction marketed as a "miracle cure" for female complaints and menstrual cramps

The compound famously contained a high percentage of alcohol and was heavily advertised using Pinkham's own likeness before federal regulations like the Pure Food and Drug Act shifted labeling practices. [1]
